We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Glen Ridge before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Glen Ridge, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
